and have they stopped living their life?

and the courts wont function again?

Just because of one death? New York has thousands of death and Dy already reopened their economy. Nigeria sef. Nonsense

Dont compare whatever happened and is happening in NY to Nigeria. Now they're experiencing low positivity rates especially after the hell they passed through weeks ago.

Earlystar698:
That's Lasser fever not Corona. Nigeria and NCDC should stop lying to the masses .. cases in other countries are decreasing while Nigeria is increasing, from no where 73 cases in this states 30 in there just to keep the helpless masses down while they keep enjoying the billions if not trillion... Corona virus is over hyped in Nigeria. USA protested thousands of protest still the case is decreasing why is Nigeria different?

You are lying. Decreasing where? China? South Korea? . You also want us to pass through what US went through? BTW look at their stats, states are experiencing spikes again

Brandstudio01:
My question is what if the COVID 19 doesn't go away?

then whatever happens happens. Until there's a vaccine the virus might take years to burn out

Adrenal crisis loading....

because it's steroidal?

MASTERCHIEF0847:
I saw this yesterday
Man said he wasn't going to to isolation center.
But is it enough to isolate someone based on having a high body temperature?

would he actually self isolate

Of course it isn't. Same thing with banks and religious centres but guess they are ready to close and shut them down when cases arise

jidamsel43:
Though this news may be fake but it is a clear truth in most African countries.
E.g Nigeria

I suspect Senegal also

Frankest20:
NCDC needs to investigate Cross River State in a more serious way

I don't know why it seems ncdc has to pass through the state governments to carry out its duties. Maybe the nonsense with kogi wouldn't have happened

paulolee:
bad...jus too bad...so much deaths this days that people are no longer concerned abt covid..
in other news its a very boring Thursday because i decided to stay at home today n realized dt my dstv sub av expired leaving me with jus NTA, decide to manage it and was watching the presidential task force on covid 19 briefing thats airing live maybr from abuja...love the way instructions and updates are been released especially the questions being asked by newsmen to the ptf agents and all questions were adequately treated, i just wished our president do give such kinda briefing with open spaces for media to ask questions and not jus dt edited speech he do read to us whenever is he on air...is that too much to ask?

Questions like what if I may ask? Cos I don't really see the point of their briefings any longer if we don't get substantial facts and breakdown of where we are concerning covid. Even state governments aren't saying anything, just announcing reopening up and down

This fake news has been making rounds since yesterday

In before conspiracy theorists get here

blessedchild234:
Well we are in for a long ride though it might take time for the vaccine to produced but it'll be over someday.

But it's about how long Nigeria will be a reservoir for the virus if we keep waiting for a vaccine that might not come

quisera:
The major problem we have ain't even the schools but the commercial banks. As long as people continue to cluster at bank gates before entrance then we should expect exponential increase in cases of covid-19.

We have problems in everything. Even hospitals now are becoming points of contract, public parks, people travelling

Badonasty:
In my own opinion I think schools should be open..,even markets wey no get structure are open not to talk of schools where the guidelines can be enforced...corona is here to stay we just have to live with it...even China is having a resurgence of cases so schools will have to open whether they like it or not

they shut down schools in Beijing again. And if we were serious markets that are high risk in terms of gatherings ought to be shut too but that's another thing.

TheFuturist:
Schools should remain closed. We're not ready, yet.

How many people are obeying the guidelines placed after the lock down was eased?

Nose masks? How many people still wear them?

Social distancing? How many people practice that? Just go to the market.

...and some of you are saying schools should be opened for children?

No! We're not ready.

Thank you. It is what it is. At this point chances of contracting the virus are higher than ever and people think it's merely a touch your nose and mouth virus . If it were, we might have had some form of management by now. Schools will only make matters worse in the virus reaching a certain population.

I like your moniker btw

Korazzonn:
The reasons are obvious I don't know why people can't see

The world is fed up really. Now people don't mind being a statistic

Investnow2017:
It seems the pandemic is further deepening or we are just starting. The infectious rate is becoming increasingly pronounced. Like I mentioned the other day, all it takes for 100 people to be infected is just 3 carriers among health workers and the rest will be history. And yet many of them are sadly exposed!

Yeah it is. It seems more mortalities outside treatment centres are happening

Babatunde7109:
[Total Confirmed Cases (TCC); Total Recovered Cases (TRC); Total Death Cases (TDC); and, Total Active Cases (TAC)]

TCC = 17,735 | TRC = 5,967 | TDC = 469

To get TAC;

TCC - TRC + TDC

= 17,735 - (5,967 + 469)
= 17,735 - 6,436

TAC = 11,299


It's almost 4 months now, and our TAC is 11,299. Wow! That's mind-blowing.

From the time we had the first case in Nigeria, every single individual who believes in the existence of the virus, speculated on how the virus would spontaneously overwhelm Nigeria in few months to come. Now, the month of June, 2020, is moving towards an end and our TAC is currently pegged at 11,299. To some extent, with our undernourished healthcare systems, we have done really well. Considering the U.S. situation - where they have the best of the best healthcare systems but are still overwhelmed, soaked by the virus, we can really credit the situation here - in Nigeria.

With this feat, if the Nigerian government reconsiders another lockdown, then I can boldly say we have a clueless, selfish govt. (I have already been saying that lately though). I wonder, and ponder, on how long an irresponsible and irresponsive Nigerian government could keep its hungry, angry subjects on lockdown. Definitely not for long, because they don't have the empathy and generosity to fill the gabs - meeting the needs of their subjects to a bearable extent. When this can't be put in place by the govt, the subjects won't take 'lockdown' as a place - perhaps, a place of assured safety.

[Our income isn't what we really earn, but what we have after deducting spendings from what we earn. That's what defines what we really are.]

The govt can't continue to react on the spike in new cases alone, without giving due consideration to the number of recovered cases, and death. COVID-19 isn't a death sentence, and I don't think it should be treated as such. Reconsidering another lockdown in the country is a typical fact of making the virus seem like a death sentence. Lockdown is really not a solution, but a problem to complement another problem. Lockdown is never a solution, the plan to move on (with the virus) is.



In a fierce war, if you hide and still get killed, what's your gain?

I get it. Economy, livelihoods, frustration. But we still have to deal with the virus. And Nigeria for now, it has shown no sign of slowing down cos we have all the necessary ingredients for it. And at this point another lockdown would seem kind of futile.

timothy2396:
Covid-19 is real but the Nigerian figures are totally false.... But wait oo, how them the take test thousands in a day? Do you know anybody that knows anybody that knows anybody that has gone for Covid-19 test? An average Nigerian can't wake up and leave his house that he's going for Covid-19 test, who does that?

And now we have average Nigerians dying before they're confirmed positive, exactly the consequence of that. Your first photo has been shut to be fake. Your second? Show me where in the world where schools have reopened successfully in the face of rising cases .

Observer131:
Dexamethasone has been approved by WHO so corona is a done deal.

so people should become critically sick?

Johnjanrt:

Breakthrough in deed. How is it no one is talking about Madagascar's Covid organics?

Whats there to talk about

I take it remdesivir is expensive?

More health workers are going to be infected

Wwwwnai9:
This is getting terrible

For health workers around the country yes

Cosyfaith:
It's such a shame. Go to other foreign news outlets. Their comments is about the way forward, ideas, critical logic on how to protect themselves while not missing out on life. Advances in social distancing and all. These are just usual citizens

It's been over 7 months now since it started ravaging China. But so called educated Nigerian youths and elders are still arguing over covid-19 being scam. Then they will blame God and their leaders for the backwardness.

What a shame on you guys!!

Nairaland is just a reflection of Nigeria's social media. It's the same on twitter . Serious contributions seem only show up during election time, even that now will reek of tribal and ethnic sentiments

Investnow2017:
Remember I said it earlier, hunger+Coronavirus is a foreboding combination. Millions have lost their jobs in India, some reportedly collapsed and died in their overcrowded train after their weeks of strict lockdown, so the harvest Covid-19 is now reaping is no surprise. Sad really - 2,006 deaths in one day!
Now they are forced to relax the lockdown to save their economy.

Yeah tough situation they're in now. They're reimposing restrictions in some places again. If not for the americas they'ld have been the world epicenter

Jahwinaboy:
My point is the lukewarm approach used by the federal government in taking measures to contain this virus. If the govt have insisted and enforced no interstate ban fully, if they had acted wisely by providing palliatives to woo the people to stay home for 2months plus while there up testing, if they used the 'iron fist' like Wike was trying to use(aside hotel demolition) , do u think Corona cases will be on the rise? New Zealand and alot of Corona free countries used all necessary approaches to become Corona free today. Did federal do anything for the citizenry to address these issues? No.

You said it. Lukewarm approach is exactly what government is exhibiting. I can't believe they had to submit a recommendation to the president so they could announce religious centres can open as if they have total control and contingencies to handle the spreading virus

I've noticed a lot of US corona virus related threads here. Is it spam or what

Investnow2017:
SirWarlock,
Did you notice that the world recorded it's HIGHEST daily tally of new Coronavirus cases yesterday; a whopping 142,000+ with India alone registering over 2000+ deaths in 24hours, followed by Brazil with over 37,000+ new cases in one day plus 1,338 deaths.
It may have eased somewhat in Europe but the Americas are reaping deadly harvests too. And Africa records are not looking good too. There is a spike in death rates and spread of infection.
The raining season in Africa at this time! We all need to take personal responsibility.
The figures in India and Brazil were at a time low, but not so now

And for India I don't know if it's just testing or like here lockdown wasn't strict or they let their guard down and it was spreading silently or it's a combination of all things.

Investnow2017:
You are right, but some DELIBERATELY chose to.

while some are deliberate, with what's happening with high populated areas that are used to a way of things, the inevitable just has to happen

MrNipplesLover:
maybe people will be serious about this now.

stay at home.


nothing beats that.

I think we're past this point of just drumming stay at home into people's ears. But true we should be serious about it.
